End tables provide nearby surfaces for drinks, books, remotes, and other items while enhancing room functionality and style. Designs range from large side tables that double as record storage to slim pedestals sized for a single beverage. Some end tables act as notable design moments through materials like structured stone or faux travertine finishes. Small-space solutions include C-shaped tables that tuck under sofa arms for compact workspaces. Modular units offer adjustable height and internal cubbies for cables, books, and essentials. Many options are suitable for indoor and outdoor use and resist issues like condensation rings.
When your morning brew is too hot, your chapter gets interrupted, or the remote needs a home, the best end tables ensure that there's a nearby place to rest whatever may be filling your hands. Whether a larger side table that doubles as record storage, or a pedestal with just enough room for a single martini glass, end tables are endlessly versatile. Honestly, we think that these pieces are really the unsung hero of any functional living area when your sculptural coffee table is too far away or your accent chair needs a companion. Some can even be considered major design moments as well. From structured stone pedestals to small-space-friendly builds, our favorite end tables do so much more than just stand there and look pretty; they make your living room (or patio, or bedroom) a more enjoyable place to hang out.
Best for Small Spaces Cleverly shaped like the letter C, this Thuma end table is ideal for spaces where furniture needs to adapt to a limited square footage. The minimal form can tuck around a sofa's arm or accent chair's curve, providing you with a clever workspace that occupies a small footprint. Outdoor-Friendly Crafted from concrete with a faux travertine finish, Lulu & Georgia's Mona table is both indoor- and outdoor-friendly. The durable stone ensures that condensation won't leave any unsightly rings.
Choose from a grey or orange speckled finish for a welcome contrast from furniture's typical soft textures and various wood tones. Best for Storage The Kartell Componibili units are modular and stackable, meaning you can adjust the end table to best suit your sofa's height or storage requirements. This table features three sliding doors that easily open to reveal cubbies that can house anything from excess charging cables to extra books.
